beat cabin fever! 9 things to do in hurricane sandy


stay safe, stay inside! looking for things to do during the storm? here's my list of things to do to ride it out!

01 snuggle in some slippers, and these minnetonka's are just the ticket.

02 this boyfriend fit shirt by madewell is possibly the softest chambray ever.

03 write snail mail! and how adorable are these stamps to create some fun stationery of your own? (via i heart luxe)

04 watch a favorite old movie on netflix - his girl friday is streaming on netflix. it's one of my favorites. the dialogue is snappy and the wit is sharp. i love it.

05 bake cookies! nothing beats a classic chocolate chip. when i make chocolate chip cookies i typically stick to the nestle tollhouse recipe on the packet but this jacques torress recipe sounds amazing. (image via grace's sweet life, who tested the recipe)

06 give yourself the perfect mani! i've been an essie girl over the past few years. new york nail salons got me hooked! but this set of winter hues from julep look stunning that i think i am going to have to give them a try. (via sephora) or, try some nail art! hello giggles has a pretty decent collection of nail art reader submissions for inspiration.

07 read a book cover to cover and that's easy to do with rookie's yearbook. this girl is definitely one of the coolest people ever. speaking of, have you seen this election video that leslie gore, tavi, and a bunch of other rad ladies put together? i wish i had submitted something but hey there's still time! so here's idea number 7B:  record your own and upload it to youtube with the hashtag #youdontownme (via tennessee thomas)

08 catch up on favorite blogs or discover some new ones. many bloggers list the blogs they love reading on their site.  you can see my list to the right, just scroll down and look under "blog love"! i've added a new one to the list - a piece of toast, run by two sisters out of dallas, tx. and hurricane sandy is the perfect excuse to read through the archives.

09 do a a diy project. get inspiration from these amazing bloggers: honestly wtf, i spy diy, ps i made this, stripes & sequins and designlovefest. i've got a ton of embroidery thread that i can't wait to do something with. (image via honestly wtf's post on diy friendship bracelets)

what are you doing to ride out the storm?

& stay safe style cuddlers xo
